Smelly Feet and Some Treats...

Well Isabelle and I went to visit our friends Lisa and Mallory yesterday and it was a fun visit as always.

We thought it would be cute to get the girls together and put them in their Halloween costumes and take some pictures. The costumes were great and the girls were adorable!

Here is a Halloween sneak peek! :)

Enjoy!

I think Isabelle had one too many, and Mallory is still feeling good ;)

Welcome :)

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to MY blog...that's right one just for ME!! :)

I know I am jealous of the babies and wanted my own so I could write all about me...well not quite...maybe. I decided to start my own blog to post random thoughts, ideas, articles, links, etc. that I have found helpful. One day you may come on here and I will share a great recipe that I just tried the next it could be a link to an interesting article that I read, another day there could be some pictures of a craft that I just made. I love going to other people's blogs and seeing the ideas and research that they provide their readers; some blogs out there have saved me a lot of searching. I thought I would try and do the same, but with my own twist on things.

I am sure all of you are wondering "What in the world is up with the title of your blog??!!". Well there is a back story to it that I will share with you all. Whenever Michael and I would go to a local paint your own pottery cafe we would always paint a little heart on the back or bottom of our pieces, it was our signature. Those little hearts became to be known as love on the bum. It has been a name that has stuck and I thought it would be suitable and fun for a blog about nothing in particular. So that is the name and that is what it means :)

So for my first blog post I thought I would share a great site...or blog I should say... that has some really great fonts. If you found yourself admiring the font on the banner on my blog I found it on the kevinandamanda.com blog. They have a ton of free fonts there, you can download one or download them all (I chose the later, because there are some really great ones). Here is the link to the fonts:

Happy fonting! :)

Enjoy!

Splish Splash...

We bought a "new to us" tub ring for Isabelle this past weekend through kijiji. I guess they do not sell them in stores anymore, because some parents think that it is okay to leave their babies unattended in the bathtub...another rant for another day. Anyway we took some cute pictures of her in the big tub all by herself. She is definitely growing up and changing everyday.

We also discovered late last week that Isabelle is either no longer or was not allergic to milk. We gave her some whole milk to try on Friday and she did not have a reaction to it. I went ahead and bought her some vanilla yogurt and she loved it.

I wanted to let everyone know that we have created a new blog called Baby Makes 4 (see button in sidebar, the URL is www.anothermakes4.blogspot.com, babymakes4 for the URL was already taken. It will be changed once baby comes and we know its name). I decided to start a separate blog for the new baby, so each one would feel special. I wish I had thought of this idea when I was pregnant with Isabelle, it would be great to remember some of the things I experienced and to remember some of the stats. Although every time I went to the doctor when I was pregnant with her, her heartrate was 160, which makes me wonder if he was actually timing it... :) Anyway feel free to add it to your favourites! ;)

Here are a few pictures of Isabelle over the last few days.

Enjoy!

Another Baby is on the Way!

Welcome everyone to Baby Makes 4! Michael, Isabelle and I are excited to announce that our family will be growing next June! We found out on October 16th, through a positive home pregnancy test, that I am expecting again.

I am a bit nervous, seeing that Isabelle is only 8 months old (she will be about 16 months when baby comes), but I am sure it will be great to have two children so close in age.

I decided to start this blog early, so we could record the pregnancy some. The blog won't be updated as frequently as Isabelle's but I thought it would be a great way to keep track of how things are going :) So far I have been feeling great, a bit tired, but that is to be expected and I can't complain.

My first appointment is on November 9th. So check back then for an update!

Picture Time...

I finally bought a new card reader the other day, so I thought our readers would like to see a few pictures of Isabelle from over the last couple of weeks.

Isabelle is still doing well. She decided to bring out the Nana the other night. Here's hoping that Mom is right around the corner! She loves playing with her toys and cuddling with her Mom and Dad.

Well here are some pictures for you :)

Enjoy!
